New Bayi Chinese Network - A collection of online novel reading networks
"Don't let this woman be left behind." On the west bank, Ma Chongying pointed to Nuqiong who was waiting on the opposite side and said.
Innuchon is a woman who stands out among many men who are soldiers.
Ma Chongying is still thinking about her exploits.
"Quick, get on the raft." Several Western soldiers stood knee-deep in the water, helped Nuqiong onto the raft, and then pushed her away.
Before Nuqiong could say words of thanks, she heard the sound of the sky falling apart, a voice she knew very well.
Previously, when her mother state Dafan besieged Yanzhou City, it was such a momentum, but now the situation has reversed: on three sides of the old city of Mingsha, there are cavalry of the Tang army, and they are here to pursue.
Lingwu's cavalry, Baicao Army cavalry, Shence cavalry, Suining cavalry, Jingyuan cavalry, nearly 10,000 people, saw this scene by the Yellow River, like seeing the wolves with food, roaring and galloping, overwhelmingly killed.
"Ahh Sitting on the raft, Nu Qiong, who had already drifted more than ten feet away, screamed and held her head.
Last night, she followed Ma Chongying's team, ran to Bole Mountain, and encountered the Tang cavalry along the way, of course, she didn't know that it was the Ming Huaiyi Department of the White Grass Army, and the cavalry on both sides were shuttling and fighting in the desert, but what frightened Nuqiong was that the invincible Dafan warriors she originally thought were invincible in her mind, but at this moment, due to the hunger and thirst of the people and horses, they were shot down by the Tang Army one after another, and lost their lives.
At that time, the situation was chaotic and miserable, thanks to the kind Dafan cavalry, who gave her a war horse, she grabbed the mane of the horse's neck, and the arrows whistled overhead, and ran all the way to the foot of the Bole Mountain in shock.
When they arrived at the bottom of the mountain, they finally drank the sweet spring water, but it didn't take long for Da Tan to give up the Bole Mountain and continue to advance towards Mingsha Town.
So she and tens of thousands of people could only continue to run.
In the middle of the road, Zhu Xie's loyal Shatuo Wanhu actually chased after him with great difficulty, and joined Ma Chongying.
As for Murong Junchao's Tuyuhun, it was originally the head of the army, but at this moment, it passed through Anle City and dissipated into the wilderness heading to Zhongwei Ferry......
In any case, this time Ma Chongying in Hexi, and the troops of Xu Li in Longyou, which he commanded, suffered heavy losses.
But even when they reached the Yellow River, after crossing more than half of the living force, the Tang cavalry pursued and killed again.
Looking at the hurricane raised by the horse's hooves on the opposite side, Ma Chongying hid his face in pain, turned around and turned the horse away.
Zhu Xie Duzhong and his son Zhiyi did not leave for the time being, and they looked at the bloody and miserable scene on the other side, shocked.
"Ahh Nuqiong, who was sitting on the raft, screamed miserably.
She watched how the cavalry of the Tang Army galloped on the bank of the river, and then how they cut the remaining Dafan soldiers on the bank, divided them into small pieces, and then slaughtered them with swords, bronze swords, and horse lances.
When she leaned to the shore in despair, the corpses floating on the Yellow River on the opposite side were congested with the waves, and the reeds on the sandbar and the shallow water on the shore were all dyed red.
After the battle was over, the cavalry team under Gao Yue's command cut off more than 2,400 heads of Xifan, Tuyuhun, and Shatuo by the Yellow River, and captured more than 500 prisoners.
Then the small cavalry of the Tang soldiers, along the Mingsha to the dry sea desert of Anle, roughly counted the corpses of the tired and thirsty soldiers, about 1,000 corpses.
From Anle City to Zhongwei, there are also hundreds of corpses left by Murong Junchao's troops along the road.
This does not include Gao Yue's previous battle in Anlechuan, and the hundreds of heads cut off by Wu Xianfu and Fan Xichao and other four generals in Qinggang Ridge.
But Ma Chongying, Xu Li, Murong Junchao and Zhu Xie Duzhong and other leaders all fled, which is also an indisputable regret.
Gao Yuetie blushed, led the cavalry, through the desert, first arrived at Zhongwei, and then followed the blue river, returning to the White Grass Military City.
At the same time, at the Mengguan Pass of Shizhou, Hedong, Ma Suizheng took over the emperor's draft, which appointed him as the commander of Hedong, Xia Suiyin (Bai Yu Shanbei), and Danyan (Bai Yu Shannan) Party Item Recruitment, responsible for the crusade and purgement of the party tribes in the region after the main force of Xifan fled.
Ma Sui was finally happy at this time, and did not mention any threat of return, but commanded the Hedong army to cross the Yellow River with great interest, prepared to be stationed in Yanzhou, and personally commanded and planned all kinds of matters.
At the Penglai Hall of Chang'an Daming Palace, the emperor met with Wang Zhixing, who had returned from Anlezhou City, and then Wang Zhixing handed His Majesty a wrapped Jinpa.
When the emperor untied it, there was a tooth that had not yet dried up.
The emperor's heart sank, and before he could speak, Wang Zhixing told him that this was the tooth that Gao Lian smashed with a stone when he commanded the Baicao Army to fight at the head of Anle Prefecture, and said that he would not retreat if he swore to death, and then continued to fight to the death with Xifan.
"Senior high, do you have anything to say to my Imperial Register?"
"I don't dare to speak."
"Say it, whatever the senior says, I won't be angry."
"He said that he wanted to emulate that pioneer, and also said that if Ma Chongying escaped, the responsibility would not only lie with the traitorous ministers, but also with His Majesty's investigation of unknown people and the change of commander before the battle." Wang Zhixing plucked up his courage and said directly, "So the high-ranking envoy smashed his teeth out and asked the ministers to hand them over to His Majesty the Holy Lord to show his heart." ”
Li Shi's heart was tumbling like sea water at this time, he clenched Gao Yue's teeth in his hands, choked up for a while, and didn't know what to say to the surroundings, as if he couldn't calm down what he said, he was silent for a long time, and finally could only say inexplicably: "Why bother to learn first?" The bite you spat on my face is that you still don't understand my good intentions! ”
Then Li Shi said to Wang Zhixing, I don't know if this guy is dead in the third year of high school, please go to Xiaoguan in Yuanzhou again, if he is not dead, tell him to come to Chang'an, and I will treat him for the crime of reprimanding the public opinion and trapping the White Grass Army without authorization.
When the surrounding lieutenants heard this, they all changed color.
Soon after, in the palace of Zichen, the emperor sat on the rope bed and said to the summoned ministers, "I have just received the news. Yuanzhou Xiaoguan, the Xingyuan defense observation of the autumn to prevent Gao Yue, who did not obey my imperial book, first led the army out of Baicaoyu, and then according to the city of Anlezhou, choked Anlechuan, and tens of thousands of Xifan soldiers who tried to escape desperately and bloodily, to intercept Ma Chongying, so far I don't know whether to survive or not. Ladies and gentlemen, I don't know what to think about this? ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole hall was terrified.
Especially Zhang Yansheng, he was even more shocked that his hands and feet were cold.
The subtext of the emperor's words, which of these characters who have mixed up with the status of the chief minister, is not clear?
At this time, whoever wants to jump out and ask the emperor to cure Gao Yue's sin is not looking for death.
"Gao Yue is also loyal to the country, and the military situation at that time was changing rapidly, and some things were not easy for the king's order to bear." Zhang Yansheng was a little embarrassed to come out of the queue and said so.
"Hmm...... What Zhang Qing said is extremely true, so if Gao Yue is still alive, should I punish him or reward him? The Emperor asked the next question.
